That's just your own POV.
Not the POV of maintainers.

This has nothing to do with drakconnect that don't handle that.
If the network disconnected, that's the issue between the routers,
the network, the kernel, ....

which points to either network issue or kernel driver issue, not drakconnect.

</I>
Same, reconnecting is the job of dhcp-client, ifplugd and the like.
Not drakconnect's job.

</I>
Well, Fedora tool (really NM) has its own bugs.
And I'm pretty sure people who've used MS, Apple or whatever OS/tool
they're used to, have also encountered issues
><i> If you want to, I can attempt to make a list of the isses and incoherencies

</I>
Indeed, please just fill in _several_ bugs (one report per issue)
against drakx-net
><i> But as I mentionned earlier, this
</I>><i> is a tool that is hard to maintain, and I cannot learn perl right now.
</I>
That's just _your_ personnal though, not his maintainer's.
aka "this is a tool that is hard to maintain" really means "you would not be
able to maintain it"
><i> If NetworkManager is easier to maintain and works fine, then I think it can

</I>><i> this tool seriously does not work properly here.
</I>
it has its own flaws too...
